New Yorkers who fret about taking the subway because of out-of-control violent crime (remember what happened to the Goldman Sachs analyst...) and have gravitated to using Uber might have difficulty finding a driver this morning because of a 24-hour labor action.
Hundreds of drivers are striking after pay increases approved by the metro area's Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) were supposed to go into effect today but were halted by the New York State Supreme Court until a Jan. 31 hearing where Uber will make a case for no pay hikes for drivers.
Drivers are assembling in what could be a large caravan this morning over the Brooklyn Bridge and will circle the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse in Foley Square, according to local media FOX 5.
